We reached the end goal of offices officially on 9th January 2024.
6421 days after I started with one single matchstick.
And then all the items were delivered by 14th February 2024.
Now we are on the search to find the start-up entrepreneur who will get to use the office space.
To back track a bit:- my strategy was to work backwards from the office space, to trade back down to my 12th trade, (which was the 3 boxes of gear). So I sent an email, got a reply, and then met with Allon Raiz, and he agreed to trade with me for the office space.
He gave me a menu list of items that I could go find to trade, and out of that I managed to find:
- the window blinds when I traded with Wynand of Blind Guys, for coaching, and then traded my coaching services for one of the boxes of gear;
- the podium from Clear Design, who got sales training from Brian de Beer, who traded with me for podcast consulting, and I then traded my time for another of the boxes of gear;
- and the TV and projector, from Andy of the Bob Group, who also traded those electronics with me for coaching and training for his staff, and I then traded that for the last of the the boxes of gear.
- And I added this air guitar stand to the deal.
So here we are – having reached the end goal of the trading, and starting a new journey of helping entrepreneurs overcome the fear of failure.
